While I agree with kanundrum that aftermarket parts are the better option, I'm guessing they will also require you to replace or upgrade the undamaged side as well. Whereas stock replacements wouldn't. But Miles could probably take a look at your pictures and tally up a likely list of required parts.

Thanks!!!

IAG got some, but I think that is just the lowest rated coils out. Wait for better ones.

well, i said I would let you know how Wagon Works did. The results are absolutely astounding. They took VERY good care of the car, cleaned up the interior and exterior, to the point where they even brushed my suede interior panels. Not so much as a hint of dirt, grime, grease or anything anywhere. It was spotless. The paint work was redone properly, with minimal imperfections, the staff really did an unbelievably awesome job on this car! Very deserving of the reputation!

How much was your entire total cost in repairs to your insurance company? Also, how long did the entire repair take?

I would imagine the time now would be less than when my car in went, but my repair took a little over 3 weeks, most of the time was waiting for supplemental insurance payment, and parts delivery. A few ducts had been cracked and there isnt a surplus of those parts yet lol. I believe the total was approaching 7k in damages.

its been well below freezing in the garage, and cloud/snow so i havent taken any pictures of the paintwork yet. I havent forgotten though!

venom8776 · 02-07-2013, 07:56 PM

The repair estimates including cost of parts and labor are in the area of $20,900. The insurance company was notified and the adjuster is going to come out and reassess it. It is probably going to exceed $22,000. The repair shop said that most likely my BR-Z will have to be totaled. I will be buying a new BR-Z in the coming weeks. I will keep you all posted.

Thank you for all your support. I will miss my Crystal Black Silica BR-Z (Helen).
